The aim of this study was to identify a group of patients with joint pain and at risk of progression to psoriatic arthritis (ARP-PsA), taking into account factors considered high risk such as psoriasis of more than 15 years of evolution; psoriasis and family history and an altered ultrasound and to compare the characteristics between two groups, one that underwent treatment and one that did not, and thus analyze the progression after one year of follow-up. In ARP-PsA patients, 41% initiated treatment, with psoriasis. After one year, of those progressing to PsA, 62% were under treatment, highlighting the importance of early therapeutic intervention.
